SCOOTOPIA 185 KIT, ANY GOOD ?

[hendy]

I've just built one for someone but never ridden it. Here's my summary.

Ring gap and piston to bore clearance good out of the box.

Using 58/107 crank, squish was around 1.2mm with supplied base gasket.

Piston was about 2mm above exhaust port at BDC, but no rings showing.

Nice centre squish head. Really like the way it centralised.

4 transfers plus a boost port.

Inlet about 145 degree inlet and exhaust about 175. These were very rough measurements.

Nice thin rings. Weirdly supplied with 2 types of piston circlips.

Generally a nice kit and I'd say stonking value at £320.

Looks really good if you don't travel far. I'm considering one for myself.

Piston 2mm above exhaust port, wonder how it would go with a 60/110 crank

Would be just about perfect in that respect if you kept the exhaust port level, the exhaust port duration would be about 5 degrees longer.

Why if you dont travel far ??

I just mean they're not a super fast motorway mile muncher in my opinion. Probably an overstatement to suggest you can't travel far on one. I'll bet you can sit at 60 for a thankful of fuel.
